Volcano watch
Japan: A new island appears in the Ogasawara Islands - November 2013
Active volcanoes (Sep 28, 2012)
"Of course all volcanoes will explode, as this is going to be a very severe pole shift. What about the months and years preceding the pole shift? It is no secret that Mammoth Lake and the caldera of Yellowstone are warming up, and the populace has been prepared for these occurrences by the movie Volcano where there, in the middle of LA, lava is bubbling up. In fact, there is a fault line running from the approximate San Diego/LA area, up into the Sierras, and this is liable to rupture rather violently during one of the quakes that precedes the pole shift by some months. Volcanic eruptions from that area in the Sierras can be expected. Will Mount St. Helen erupt? All volcanoes that have been active within the memory of man will begin spewing and burping and oozing, and many that were not expected to become active will reactive. " ZetaTalk - Feb 15, 2000

Sumatra's Mt Sinabung Erupts for 3rd Time in 3 Days (Nov 5)
The frequency and size of explosions at Mt Sinabung is accelerating.
Another eruption occurred this afternoon around 15:20 local time, sending an ash plume to 25,000 ft (7.5 km) altitude, the third such eruption in as many days since Sunday, Nov 3.
The Karo regency administration in North Sumatra has declared an emergency response period following the increasing frequency of Mount Sinabung’s eruptions in the last few days.
Regency administration spokesperson Jhonson Tarigan said the period was effective from this week for an indefinite period, or until the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) recommended otherwise.
The volcano has been placed on alert status as it is continuously spewing volcanic ash.
The latest eruption took place on Tuesday at around 2:30 p.m. local time when the volcano sent a plume of smoke 3-kilometers into the air, while the spread of ash was around 10 km to the southwest.
Jhonson said the eruption was strong as it lasted around 20 minutes and was heard at tourist resort Berastagi, which is located around 15 km from the volcano and 60 km from Medan.
No casualties were reported in the eruption. Jhonson said at least 1,700 people from four subdistricts of Simacem, Bekerah, Mardinding and Suka Meriah had been evacuated due to the eruptions, as their homes were very close to the volcano’s crater.
“Areas within a 3-km radius of Sinabung’s crater have to be cleared, that’s why people must evacuate,” he said.
The evacuees were placed in three evacuation centers in Payung, Tiga Nderket and Naman Teran districts under the responsibility of the respective district heads.
Romel Karo-Karo, a local community figure, said most of the evacuees were traumatized by the eruptions.
“They are very traumatized, especially when eruptions happen at night when they cannot see the volcano, but can suddenly feel the ash covering their villages,” Romel said as he was evacuating people in Naman Teran on Tuesday.
The two eruptions on Monday night, for example, terrified nearby residents as they also sounded very loud.
“The second eruption at about 9:30 p.m. brought with it searing material,” said Romel, adding that the first eruption on Monday lasted about eight minutes while the second one lasted about five minutes.
PVMBG head Hendrasto said on Tuesday the alert status of Mt. Sinabung was maintained as its eruptions continued.
This, he said, was based on the result of observations made from the Mt. Sinabung observation post in Simpang Empat district from Oct. 29 until Nov. 2.
Apart from that, the eruption tremor amplitude and the duration of the tremors were also increasing from day-to-day, he added.
Previously, thousands of people living on Mt. Sinabung’s slopes were evacuated when the volcano, which is 2,460 meters above sea level, erupted in mid September — the first eruption since August 2010. The 2010 incident, which was the first eruption in almost 410 years, claimed several lives and displaced thousands.
Before the eruption, the volcano was categorized as dormant, or a type B volcano, but was later categorized as dangerous or a type A volcano.
According to the PVMBG, type A volcanoes are those that have erupted at least once since 1600, type B volcanoes have not erupted since 1600 but still show signs of volcanic activity, and type C volcanoes have not erupted at all in recorded history.

Sinabung: Volcano Erupts Again in Indonesia Forcing Mass Evacuations (Nov 3)
Mt Sinabung in Sumatra erupted twice on Sunday, hurling red-hot ash and rocks up to seven kilometres into the air and forcing more than 1,000 people to flee their homes.
1,293 residents from Mardinding and Sukameriah villages evacuated due to the eruption. The number is expected to increase as residents of Bekerah, Mimacem and Sukameriah villages will still be evacuated.

Indonesia's Mount Sinabung Spits Powerful Burst of Ash (Oct 24)
Near the western edge of the Sunda Plate, Sinabung volcano erupted on Thursday, unleashing a column of dark volcanic material high into the air weeks after villagers were returning home from an earlier eruption. The explosion shot black ash 3 kilometers (nearly 2 miles) into the air,
He said villages, farms and trees around the 2,600-meter (8,530-foot) -high rumbling volcano were covered in thick gray ash, prompting authorities to evacuate more than 3,300 people. Most were from two villages within 3 kilometers (nearly 2 miles) of the mountain in Karo district.
No lava or debris spewed from the volcano, and nearby towns and villages were not in danger, but authorities warned tourists to stay away from the danger zone located 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) from the crater, Nugroho said.
Last month, more than 15,000 people were forced to flee when the volcano rumbled to life after being dormant for three years, belching ash and smoke and igniting fires on its slopes.
The volcano's last major eruption in August 2010 killed two people and forced 30,000 others to flee. It caught many scientists off guard because it had been quiet for four centuries.

More on the volcano-like eruption on the India-Myammar border:
Hill Range and Road Sinks from Tectonic Plate Movement (Oct 22)
A hill range at Tusom Christian village located under Jessami sub-division of Ukhrul district at the intersection of Myanmar (tectonic) plate and Indian plate has sunk following tectonic faulting of the two plates and the phenomenon is akin to mud volcano, experts have said.
Tusom village is located about 121 Kms away from Ukhrul district headquarters near the Indo-Myanmar border pillar number 129 .
The village has around 250 households.
One hill range located near the village has sunk completely together with the road which connects Tusom village with Somra village across the international border as a result of tectonic faulting in the night of October 11 .
On receiving reports about a volcano like eruption in the village, a team of Imphal based reporters headed for the village on October 20 .
After going for about 2 Kms from Tusom towards the international border, the journalists saw a large depression apparently formed by a sinking hill range.
A small current of water was also seen flowing in the sunken zone.
With the only road which connect Tusom with Somra sunk together with the hill range, the two villagers now remain cut off.
Nonetheless, some people have been using Chinese motorcycles to visit each other but they have to draw the motorcycles manually on different sections of routes which have become practically unmotorable.
According to Tusom village headman Miksha Zimik, there was some rainfall before the hill range broke down and sunk but there was no tremor or earthquake.
Villagers did not see any kind of smoke nor did they sense any unusual smell when the hill range broke down.
Yet, all the villagers were astonished on seeing what was happening in the village.

'Volcano-like eruption' in Tusom Village [The Morung Express; 20 October, 2013]
IMPHAL, October 20 (PTI): A suspected volcano-like eruption has been reported in a remote village of Manipur near the India-Myanmar border which forced locals to evacuate the area, official sources said on Sunday. According to locals in Tusom village in Ukhrul district of Manipur, a deafening sound was followed by the rolling down of a huge boulder from a nearby hilltop which then released a lava-like liquid that charred trees and plants on the hill slopes.
Although the incident reportedly occurred on October 13, road link between the district headquarters and Tusom was so bad it took the villagers several days to reach the information about the matter to the officials concerned, sources said. The district headquarters is 120km away from the village. No casualty was, however, reported in the incident. Official reports from the district said mud, water and other discharges were still flowing from the hilltop. Villagers have moved to safer places in the neighbourhood, they added.
Sources said it would take time to assess whether the event was a volcanic eruption or not.
Deputy speaker of Manipur assembly, MK Preshow said he would lead an official team to assess the damages. Tusom village falls under his assembly constituency of Chingai.
Preshow said he would ask officials to take precautionary measures in the area, which falls near border pillar No. 129. Villagers in the said area rely entirely on the Somra area of neighbouring Myanmar for their items of daily use, Preshow said. However, since the road to Somra was blocked following the incident, steps would be taken by the state government to supply the villagers with essential items, Preshow added.

On 9 Oct 2013 at 1224 UTC there was a very large Strombolian eruption with a very nice VLP signal. The earthquake resulting from the eruption/explosion was seen on the seismic records at Scott Base over 30 km away. This may have been the largest eruption since a 3 month highly explosive period in late 1984.
Erebus is rocking McMurdo!
October 20 2013
Activity at Erebus Todays seismic activity at Cones station. Two nice explosive eruptions at 0413 and 0728. The later is fairly large for Erebus and almost certainly a bomb thrower. Nice to see there is a return to stronger and larger Strombolian eruptions.
